Twilight

My husband came home last night with screener tickets for the new Twilight movie.

Of course, being the obsessive fan of Harry Potter that I was during the series, I am well aware of the fandom that Stephanie Myer has due to her series.

I avoided it like the plague.

The main reason was that I, frankly was embarrassed as it is considered a “teeny bopper” book. (Why I was able to shout from the rooftops how much I loved Potter but was embarrassed to read Twilight is beyond me).

I resigned myself to read the book before the move under the perfect guise. I went to the Book Fair at my children’s school and decided I could pick it up there are no one would be the wiser.

No such luck, it was not there.

I put on my dark sunglasses and baseball hat and went to the bookstore.

I sat on the couch and read….. and read…. and read…..

I finished the book at 3:30 in the morning and I thought it was exciting and fun! I loved it! It was easy to read and I could not wait to turn the pages to find out what was going to happen!

(I especially loved the tracker plotline!)

I will not say anything more about Twilight except that I find myself feeling sorry for all those teenage girls who will read this book and grow up to have unrealistic expectations about men. How many boyfriends does anyone have that can recite Romeo and Juliet from memory, compose beautiful music about you, have super human strength, glisten in the sunlight, as well as save you over and over again from certain death?
